Body Happy Kids

I am so impressed by Molly's continued hard work and commitment towards this important campaign. She is a woman on a mission and it's one every parent should be listening to.

If you are a parent wanting to gain insight and tools that will enhance your child's ability to navigate image and wellbeing, I cannot recommend this book enough.

"A timely and incredibly important message with practical takeaways to help children of all ages."

We are not born hating our bodies. Make sure your kids never do. 
 
No parent wants their child to grow up with anything less than wholehearted confidence in themselves. Sadly research shows that children as young as five are saying they need to 'go on a diet' and over half of 11 to 16-year-olds regularly worry about the way they look. Campaigner and mum-of-two-girls Molly Forbes is here to help. 
 
In Body Happy Kids, Molly draws on her own experience and a range of experts to provide parents with a much-needed antidote to the confusing health advice that bombards us every day. This reassuring and practical guide covers everything you need to help your child to care for their body with kindness, including how to approach good nutrition (without falling for diet culture), how to see the reality behind beauty ideals and how social media can be used to support body confidence rather than destroy it. With Molly's help, you can arm yourself with the insight and tools to raise resilient children who love the skin they're in.
